NBA Live 09 Demo Videos

After a day of the NBA Live 09 demo being out for the 360 it looks like in general it has been well received. I’ve come across issues that are still apparent or marginally improved from when I last played the game but I’ll be saving those thoughts for a full write-up this weekend. I really would’ve liked if they had included some elements of the NBA Academy because outside of 365 and Player DNA elements that are being prominently displayed through the demo it is tough to get a handle on the other new additions to the game.

Continue to watch the four videos I’ve got up which includes a quick description of each. All of them are played on All-Star difficulty controlling the Celtics. There are some pretty neat animations mixed in and I attempt (many times unsuccessfully) to display some of the new features such as the play calling and Pick and Roll Control.

This one I posted up yesterday in the comments, forum, and as the site’s featured video so you may have already seen it. But it is just the first play through with the demo.

In this I tried to run plays most of the time when on offense. I didn’t include intros in the rest of the videos since it was easier just to restart rather than load back into it.

I worked with Pick and Roll Control on most offensive possessions. It is difficult to get the timing down to where you know what the roll man is going to do without being able to practice it.

Here I play more naturally and it is probably the best overall display of how the game flows.

I do agree with Josh, when he thinks, that people overestimate the significance of DNA. It do not have effect on the gameplay, players are sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker according to the real NBA. Does it matter, playing with the Lakers, that Bryant is rated to 98 or 96? And this feature does not have effect on franchise games.

It does factor into franchise in that you can start your franchise with any set of data. The most updated one or one from the past that you may prefer for whatever reason. Obviously though once you start a franchise it wouldn’t make any sense to come into play.

Team DNA will still be a factor in franchise mode. When you create trades, bring in certain players and the way you play will change the Team DNA. That’s why I say Dynamic DNA is such a misunderstood concept. A lot of people think it’s just a roster update and shooting trends.

“Whenever you shoot the ball it’s either going to be a swish or bounce off the rim. In 2k you can hit the back of the rim when you shoot (like when Kobe does his line drive shot) & there are a variety of ways that the ball goes into the rim”

I’ve had shots go in hard off the back of the rim…with the sound and all in 08. It may not be perfect but a lot of you fools are nit picking way too much. If you want that much realism, go outside and run a full court game in the playground.

Next, I’m gonna hear people talking about “Yo, this game is wack. I play a whole game on Superstar and I don’t even get sweaty.” It’s just a video game my dude.

and about the passing?

I hear dudes online complain about passing all the time. most of them just dont know what a bad pass looks like. if i play tight D, the passes are more likely to be lobs or tipped. if you try to throw a pass through someone, it has more of a chance to be a lob. if you are a player who sucks at passing, he’ll throw worse passes.

they dont to fix the passing…you need to find an open lane before throwing your passes. stop playing the video game and start playing ball. you might learn something. now, i’m not saying its perfect…but I’ve played 2K enough to know…2K is arcadey. the scale of the players on the court is so off I don’t understand why fanboys front like its a bball sim.

remember nba jam? the players took four or five steps and they were already at the free throw line ready to dunk. that’s what 2K feels like to me. the players are too big. you ever been to bball game? the players arent that big. Live isn’t perfect…but its closer to the truth.

I would like to know if they put new upgraded rosters in NBA 09 live, besouse in NBA 08 live rosters were from july 2007 and fans like me had to change it manually. And we know that they in EA are working on new Team Thunder and with its rosters
Second thing (it is maybe too late) is there posibillity to move for example Luis Scola from Argentina team directly to NBA Houston team. Last time in NBA 08 I have to create new person who was even not similar to Scola. Will this change in new NBA 09 live or I will have to create rookies by mysel. thank You.

They are funny in EA Sports if they gained anything in DNA and NBA live 365. You will be able to load all skills or all that player did in a game but how can you perdinct? Example Iverson scored last night 30 ponts more of them from 3 point line. You think that next game will he score points from 3 point line?Never I know him very much I have been watching him for years…

The Demo is still not available for the PS3 in the US!!! Playstation network sucks!
Seriously, how do you expect to keep the ps3 alive when you do absolutely nothing with the online store? Xbox has a load of games to download, psx has near nothing.
